Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare two large sheet pans.
  2. Dice the potatoes into 3/4-inch pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, combine parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, and 1/4 tsp salt.
  4. Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil over the potatoes, sprinkle the seasoning mix, and toss until coated.
  5. Spread the potatoes on one baking sheet.
Roasting
  1. Bake the potatoes for 30 minutes, flipping them mid-way.
  2. While the potatoes roast, toss broccoli florets with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  3. Spread broccoli on the second baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through.

  2. In a small bowl, mix dried oregano, dried parsley, dried basil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Cover the chicken with the herb mixture.

Marinate the chicken in ranch dressing for extra flavor. For crisper potatoes, pre-cook cubes in boiling water for a few minutes before roasting.
